Western intellectuals praise her for being a liberal empress very influenced by the Enlightenment. She did keep Jews from moving into Russia while ruling over the biggest population of Jews in Europe after expanding to the west though, which could be one of the reasons why the same western intellectuals also like to call her a whore and talk about all her lovers.
